Congratulations are in order for gospel star Mahalia Buchanan as she got engaged to her lover over the weekend. The musician got engaged in one of the most romantic ways when her babe 'W' surprised her with a candle lit, rooftop dinner date.
Announcing the joyous moment -see what we did there- the star took to her Instagram and shared a snippet from how the whole proposal unfolded. Thanks to their photographer who managed to capture the beautiful moment, we can tell that our girl was overwhelmed with excitement.
Captioning her video which was topped off by the soothing vocals from star PJ Morton, she said, "All he said was get ready, I am taking you out on a date." She then added that she cannot wait to become his wife so that they can spend the rest of their days together, "Can't wait to be you wife and spend out forever living our God given purpose."
We sincerely wish their union gets blessed with all things wonderful and positive.
This is this year's second engagement in ZAlebville with Simphiwe Dana and her bae making things official. Simphiwe Dana came out as a homosexual last year and even announced that she has found her 'the one.' The special lady in Simphiwe's life is Pumeza Matshikiza and they are set to wed.
Pumeza has not been in the spotlight however what we do know about her is that she is an opera singer and that she has snatched the Bamako musician's heart.
The couple wants an extravagant wedding so we know we will be getting the front row seat to their lovely union.
Coming out, Simphiwe said she has been hiding her sexuality because of the stigma gay people face. As a mother, she said she is fully aware that society will outcast her, however she is content with her life as a gay mom.
"I’ve been holding this in since forever. I’m gay," she revealed. "I know coming out means Africa will block me. But, after a lot of thinking, I’m ok with it. I’m marrying a woman, and I’ve never been happier."
She will not be the first woman who has a past dating men and then changed to date woman, as Letoya Makhene has set that trend in Mzansi. They got engaged in a hot air balloon and the lobola proceedings are done and dusted.
Generations The Legacy starlet Letoya Makhene and her bae Lebohang Keswa are just counting down the days till they officiate their union. Speaking to Daily Sun Letoya said "We won’t say we don’t have our ups and downs because that’s what every relationship has but what I like is that our love conquers all.”
“When we started with this relationship, we got a lot of criticism but we’ve learned to live with them.”
